Avocado toast was a good sized portion. I like the ample seating options and availability of seats. Service was friendly except for the male barista who cut in front of me to put away coffee cups grabbing a fork and napkin. I thought he was another guest so I let him go first, but then realized he worked there. A little rude imo.

Still on the hunt for the top Grand Rapids coffee shop…read more The staff were very friendly, but the coffee was not the best. Espresso was too "mild" for my liking. We expected it to pack a little more of a bunch and have deeper flavor. The location and ambiance were very friendly though. This is a great place to come and either get work done, or enjoy company. I would definitely come back.

This is a cool place to hang out with friends, later that night I returned for Balkan Comedy Night, it was a really cool stand up comedy show where comedians from the Balkans were cracking jokes and telling their crazy stories.

A very conveniently placed coffee shop in the Kingma's Market. It's quite small, so I would refrain…read morefrom coming here to get work done, but overall pretty good coffee. It's more on the pricey side for a latte, but they make their efforts in presentation. They have their own pink mugs, and the coffee art is done well! Sometimes I think coffee shops can make their stores look a little too busy with decoration. I believe that simple is often better. The staff was kind, making sure we were take care of. In the GR coffee scene, it's in the above-average category.

Don't bother going anywhere else for coffee if you're near Ionia, Sozo's should be your first and…read moreonly stop. I've been to a lot of coffee shops in nearby cities and big cities around the country and Sozo's is just as good if not better than any I've visited. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the environment is really laid back, with lots of space to sit and work or meet with friends, coworkers, or classmates. They source their own beans, and make their own baked goods in house. I'll often order their drip cause it's so good, but I also love their pour over, the Nutty Irishman, or just a plain Cortado. And I always keep their beans on hand for home. Please visit, enjoy, and support Rodney and Mindy and this small/local business!

Possibly my new favorite spot for a bagel?…read more The matcha was good - smooth and creamy. The flavor of their vanilla syrup isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. I live for fun specialty matcha and while they did have one on the menu, the pine flavors weren't appealing to me. Surprisingly, the real star of the show was the bagel. Not the avocado spread that was on it, that just tasted like that overly acidic stuff you get in the little cups, but the bagel itself was amazing. It was chewy but not tough to chew. I loved its soft doughy texture. They also had some vegan treats available that i'd love to try next time. The matcha was good but not my top pick in GR but that bagel would definitely bring me back.

For anyone looking for a good WFH spot, this cafe has plenty of outlets, comfy seats, and lots of natural lighting! There is always plenty of room and the workers always do a great job of keep the tables clean throughout the day. For food, I got the chicken pesto wrap and it was amazing! So filling and such a good price for the amount of food. The bread is especially yummy especially when they toast it. All of their coffee is yummy but I especially love their honey pistachio seasonal latte! (Pro tip: if you're a student they have a student discount also!) Lots of free parking in the back and they are open until midnight now!
